Mujaadel is up 5lb for his latest win at Doncaster and is not certain to confirm running on worse terms with third placed Defence Council. The Osteopath scored over C&D in soft ground last month but steps up a grade today while Ruth Carr has won the last two renewals and the returning Orpsie Boy is preferred to stablemate Klynch. Sam Nombulist has struggled in both starts this year but has claims on November's win at Doncaster though the vote goes to BLUES JAZZ. He showed enough at Redcar last time to suggest he can win off today's mark and add to last year's six victories especially as a high draw may suit his hold-up style of running.
